the death of michael brown, if you like is a symptom of this. it's certainly been the catalyst to what we have seen tonight and may see this week. things here, you know, they should dominated by a steady drip, drip of this sort of discrimination. ferguson, for example, is not untypical of a lot of majority african american towns in america. it gets a lot of its municipal revenues from fines, traffic fines, court costs and the overwhelming number of people who pay those fines are african americans. they feel not only are young men being stopped, harassed or even shot on the streets here and elsewhere, they themselves as citizens are having to pay for the police department, for the municipal services through what they see as a form of petty harass: it's a systemmal i can problem. it has to be solved that way, president obama has referred to it. civil rights leaders always talk about it. whether this is the turning point? it's too early to say. but certainly here would like to see a lot more action than just a grand jury verdict and some marches an
